Scientists reverse Alzheimer’s in mice and restore memory: Study
Summary
Scientists have found that restoring the brain's energy molecule NAD+ can reverse Alzheimer's disease and restore memory in mice, offering new hope for treatment.
Key Points
- Restoring NAD+ balance in mouse models reversed Alzheimer’s brain pathology and cognitive deficits.
- The treatment used was a pharmacologic compound called P7C3-A20 developed to maintain NAD+ balance.
- Alzheimer’s brains exhibit severe drops in NAD+ levels, hindering cellular function and survival.
- Research suggests Alzheimer’s damage may be reversible, challenging the belief that the disease is permanent.
